Germany is preparing emergency military aid to Ukraine
Germany plans to approve military aid for Ukraine in the amount of about 400 million euros. Funds are planned to be provided urgently due to the deterioration of the situation at the front.
In connection with the constant aggravation of the military situation in Ukraine, there is a real threat that without significant material support, Ukraine may suffer a defeat in the defense campaign, the letter of the Ministry of Finance states.
At the request of the Ministry of Defense, the Finance Department turned to the Budget Committee of the Parliament with a request to approve additional expenses.
The unplanned need of approximately 397 million euros has arisen over the past few weeks and is in line with constitutional and budgetary requirements for unplanned expenditure, the document said.
